What Would You Build in Holmdel?

Holmdel, NJ - Earlier this week, Holmdel Patch asked our Facebook readers what they would build or fix in town if they were given $1 million.

Readers from across the area responded with answers varying from new playgrounds, renovated high schools and improved hospitals.

Also early this week, U.S. News and World Report released its list of the Top 10 Children’s Hospitals Across the Country. The hospitals were ranked in terms of “clinical outcomes,” “efficient coordination of care,” and “care-related resources.”

The publication periodically releases lists regarding the best schools in the country as well as most livable cities. Many of the things that make a town or city ‘livable’ are resources and public spaces i.e. good schools, roads, parks, libraries, etc. Not surprisingly, these were many of the things readers said they would build or fix in their town if granted $1 million to do so.

Here’s what your neighbors said they would build in Holmdel:

• "Do something with that eyesore of a Pathmark Plaza"
• "Replace all the faded road signs. I see people go down the wrong way on a one-way street almost once a week"
• "A better skate/scooter/bike park! And have it monitored at all times."
• "School system: hire competent teachers, introduce and follow through with stem programs and music programs"
• "We need different stores in this area. This area for shopping is very dull always going out if this area to shop. Any new stores to this area would be a plus."
• "I would rebuild all the horrible strip malls on 35/36 and get some good shopping choices!"
• "Something with Bethany Road to lighten up that traffic."
